20 Adept MV Controller User’s Guide, Rev C
Third-Party Terminals for an S-Series Controller
For S-Series Adept MV controllers, the user must supply a terminal to interface to the
controller. The terminal must be a Wyse model 60 or 75 with an
ANSI
keyboard, or a
compatible terminal and keyboard.
2.7 Product Descriptions
AdeptVision VME
AdeptVision VME is a combination hardware and software package for integrated
machine vision inspection and guidance applications. The hardware is based on an
A-Series Adept MV controller with an AdeptVision VME module (VIS) and an Adept
Graphics module (VGB) installed. AdeptVision VME can be integrated into any Adept
automation system.
AdeptVision VME is a high resolution, gray-scale vision system based on Adept’s
multi-tasking V
+
language and operating system. V
+
is a high level language with
extensive vision tools for vision-related operations like image capture, enhancement, and
analysis. AIM VisionWare software is included with the AdeptVision VME product.
AdeptMotion VME
AdeptMotion VME is a combination hardware and software package for motion control of
both simple and complex robots and other factory mechanisms. The hardware consists of
an Adept MV controller with one or several AdeptMotion Interface modules (MI3/MI6)
installed. The AdeptMotion VME control software runs on the V
+
operating system. This
product can be integrated into an Adept automation system with additional features such
as: vision guidance and inspection, conveyor tracking, and AIM software.
AdeptForce VME
AdeptForce is a hardware and software package that allows Adept-controlled robots to
react to sensed forces and moments. Tight integration of the force sensor to the robot
control system dramatically reduces robot stopping time when forces or moments exceed
preset thresholds. As a result, assembly operations can be performed at higher speeds
than are possible with other force sensing units.
The hardware consists of an AdeptForce VME module (VFI) installed in the Adept MV
controller, and the force-sensing unit installed on the robot. See the AdeptForce VME User’s
Guide for complete information on this product.
